C. W. Blanning\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph II (1741--90) -- son and eventual successor of Maria Theresa -- has conventionally been seen in the context of the \"Enlightened Despot'' reformers. Today's turmoil in his former territories invites a rather different perspective, however, as Joseph grapples with the familiar and intractable problems of creating a viable unitary state out of his multi-national empire in Central Europe. Professor Blanning's brilliant short study, based on extensive archival research, offers a history of the Habsburg monarchy in the eighteenth century, as well as a revaluation of the emperor's complex personality and his ill-fated reform programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 8.49 x 5.48 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49559482368152,"sku":"9780582052727","price":126.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/AI29HbQsZH9780582052727.webp?v=1785111050","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/joseph-ii-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
